Part cookie, part craft project, all delicious: get creative juices flowing with this creative and almost (dare we say it?) elegant take on candy-corn-topped cookies.

Just imagine biting into one of these toffee-coated truffles with a crunchy candy-bar shell and creamy chocolate center. One look at the recipe and you'll want to head to the grocery store to buy some ice cream and Heath toffee bars stat.

We like to think of Rice Krispies treats as a blank slate, and clearly Joanne from Inspired Taste agrees. Her version of the classic bake-sale treat incorporates Kix cereal, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate icing, and peanuts!

If this isn't the ultimate Halloween treat, we don't know what is. Grab a pack of Unreal chocolates (or any other candy-coated chocolates), mix with peanut butter and pumpkin puree, and ta-da! You've got some unreal cookies that won't last very long.
